Use of proteins as agents against autoimmune diseases

Abstract

The use of proteins extracted with perchloric acid from animal organs, for the preparation of medicaments active against autoimmune diseases, in particular with activity against atheroscelerosis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes.
